The installation of the 2007 Microsoft Office suite Service Pack 1 (SP1) fails with error
1935 or with error 78F. This failure occurs when the Windows Installer encounters a
reference either to a drive that no longer exists or to a removable media device that
contains no readable media. For example, this failure may occur when the Windows Installer
encounters a reference to an empty DVD drive or to an empty CD drive. The issue is not
caused by the update design of the 2007 Microsoft Office suite Service Pack 1 (SP1).
